Valencia vs Almeria Prediction: Expect a productive match

Prediction for the match between Valencia and Almeria, which will take place on January 23. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Despite losing the Spanish Super Cup semi-final to Real Madrid, we noted that Valencia played at a reasonable level, and it was clear that the Bats were in good shape. This thesis was confirmed in the Spanish Cup round of 16 matches on January 18, where they beat Sporting 4:0 away. Considering Valencia's standings in La Liga, it is evident that the cup becomes essential for future hosts, especially since Valencia was one step away from the title last season. But there is a unique motivation for Valencia in La Liga. Before Sunday's pool, Valencia was only two points ahead of the teams from the relegation zone before the start. Naturally, the future field hosts greatly desire to break away from the bottom three as soon as possible. Valencia's home statistics are 13th in the division, +4=1-4, 15:8 goal difference.

After a pause for the World Cup 2022, Almeria has played three official matches in La Liga, in which they scored two points: draws against Cadiz away and Atletico at home and a home loss to Real Sociedad. The guests picked up 18 points in 17 games and are one point behind Valencia and one point ahead of Valladolid, who are in the bottom three. Fortunately, Valladolid and Cadiz have already played their matches in the reporting period, and now we can say with certainty that at the end of the 18th round, Almeria won't fall into the relegation zone. Almeria's away statistics are the worst in the division, 0=2-6, 4:15 goal difference.

Valencia is in good form. In the semi-final of the Super Cup of Spain, the team lost to Real Madrid only in the penalty shootout, and a week later, Valencia thrashed Sporting 4:0 away. Almeria hasn't won a single game since the season resumed. We believe that a motivated Valencia can pick up three points on Monday at the Mestalla. At the same time, we expect the upcoming meeting to be quite productive.
